I am going through a rough time cause of long unemployment. I start and end my day by crying. I try to stay sane throughout the day by being productive or distracted. The only time when I am not stressed is when I am asleep.
I have a year of consumer insight exp and bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have gotten lots of interview, but no offer. I really need a job.
I was helping my mom with chores, and she said something really mean, and I am very sensitive, so I started crying. She criticizes me when I don't help out and also when I do help out. Later, her so called apology was "Its in my nature to say (mean) stuff that comes to my mind, don't take it to the heart".
Everyone has it all figured out and I have been stuck in this phase of unemployment for the longest time. I don’t know if I will ever get out.
I am a bit autistic and socially anxious, so eye contact doesn’t come naturally, so i look at my video so that I don’t trip up my words. I don’t know if this looks bad or awkward from the hiring manager’s perspective.
I really hate being so anxious before interviews. I keep trying to tell myself that it’s just a conversation, it’s not life or death. But, it really feels like it is especially when you are unemployed.
I am 21, and I feel like I have missed out on so many experiences just because I was shy and anxious. I don’t have a single friend and I wanna change that, I need step by step instructions on how to do that.
I have bachelor’s and a year of consumer insights at a widely known company but still having a hard time landing a full time job. Is it because I don’t have a master’s degree?
I just woke up, and my first thought was like I don’t deserve to feel the cold air of the AC.
I have been on tretinoin for 4 years on and off. There have been times when I didn’t use it for 8 months straight. So, do i just stick with tretinoin or do laser/micro needling. Chemical peel is also an option but it looks painful. I have mild acne, with a lot of scars and a few actives with texture. Do I just set up an appointment with my dermatologist or an esthetician? I haven’t been to the dermatologist in 4 years. Also, if i do get laser or micro needling, would the acne completely stop afterwards?
I started having brain fog about 2 years ago when i was unemployed. I had daily headaches and I was convinced that they were cause of brain tumor. Eventually, I got a temporary job, and the headaches disappeared but still felt a big foggy. That temporary job ended in Jan, and recently I have been doing so many interviews. I am not naturally good at communicating so I was trying to memorize scenarios. And my brain was lagging in real life, like i couldn’t even visualize the story. First time I was unemployed, i thought it was brain tumor (never went to the doctor cause i think it was just health anxiety). This time around, I feel like it is brain fog. I also have other health problems like TMJ.
i feel like i am never gonna get a job cause of this. please help
I am unemployed and I was trying to memorize STAR scenarios, cause that's the only way I won't blank out in the interview. I realized that I have done all the work that I am saying just over 6 months, and still I can't seem to explain it without memorizing, I can't even visualize it. I don't know if its because I am trying to perfectly memorize every single word, or its because of depression or isolation or even cause of lower attention span (due to TikTok) or too much reliance on AI or brain fog.
I have done lots of interviews, but still haven’t gotten any offers. Partially, cause I am not the best at interviews, but I don’t think it’s entirely my fault. Like even if I performed well, I would have had the same result. So, I wanna hear the story of people who are actually good at interviews, but still haven’t gotten any offers.
Like I am grateful for some of the things they have done for me, but at the same time, I dislike them for always being so critical and judgmental, as I have a low self-esteem cause of that.

I think that I wanna do this or I wanna do that, and almost instantly i hear my mom’s voice in my head saying, “you are becoming too americanized” or “why are you spending so much money on that”. Because of this, before I even try something, I already give up. I am sick and tired of the judgment, and taunts.
Everyone else has high school friends or college friends but I don’t have a single friend that I can hang out with.
I have been unemployed for 6 months, and have done countless interviews but no offers. From the outside, it looks like I wasn’t even trying. But they don’t know about the amount of time I spent on job applications, and interview prep. Not to mention, the amount of time I spent on crying and being depressed with no motivation. Soon enough, it will be Christmas, I will have to answer why I am still unemployed.
PLEASE JUST LET IT BE ME THIS TIME!!!!
I am 21, and I never really had a friend group. I was super shy in high school and mainly did college online. I see people having multiple friend groups, and I don’t even have one.
I did a screening for a role and it went really well. She said she will reach out regarding next steps in an hour. She doesn’t. So, I reach out to her the next day. No reply for a week, until I get an email about next round interview with a link to submit my availability. I submit my availability, don’t hear back for another week. I just thought that she ghosted me until I just got an email at 11pm, where she scheduled the meeting for 11am tomorrow. I have another interview at the same time tomorrow. How unprofessional it is to schedule an interview such last-minute. I just sent an email saying that i am no longer available and sent my updated availability.
I am freaking out cause I was already stressed because of the final round interview I have tomorrow. But, now this interview conflict with the second role is making me even more stressed. Like what if the final round interview tomorrow doesn’t work out? And I should have done the interview for the other role instead?
